Ken Follett's The Pillars of the Earth [Steam], a video game adaption of a book sharing the same name will release on August 15th by Daedalic Entertainment and it will have day-1 Linux support.

Check out the previous teaser the put up:

I haven't ever read the book and honestly, I had never heard of it until this was announced a while back. Still, it sounds exciting and I do enjoy a good interactive adventure. For those who have read it before, you will be pleased to know that you can change the events of it and influence the fates of its characters.

For us Linux PC gamers, it seems it will be a Steam-only release, no GOG.
